NEW PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA 83 
posterior tarsi furnish a number of characters which will make 
Neodrana comparatively easy of recognition. The genus will 
enter the 13. group of Chapuis’ arrangement and will find its 
place near Nadrana from which as well as from the allied ge- 
nera the above characters distinguish it. 
61. Neodrana semifulva, n. sp. 
Fulvous; antennae, the basal joints excepted, piceous; thorax 
finely punctured; elytra subgeminate punctate striate, black, the 
basal portion fulvous. 
Var. elytra entirely black. 
Length 2-2'/, lines. 
Head impunctate, the frontal tubercles very strongly raised, 
trigonate and nearly contiguous; carina acutely raised extending 
down to the epistome, the sides of the latter rather concave ; 
antennae very closely approached, the first and sometimes the 
2 following joints fulvous, the rest piceous, pubescent, the se- 
cond and third joints short and equal; thorax about twice as 
broad as long, the sides rounded, the anterior and posterior 
margin nearly straight; anterior angles obtuse and thickened, 
surface rather remotely and very finely punctured; elytra gemi- 
nate punctate-striate, the punctuation much more distinct than 
that of the thorax and the interstices slightly convex, legs fulvous 
or testaceous. 
Hab. New Guinea, Sorong, (L. M. D’Albertis). Ramoi (O. Bec- 
cari). 
In the female insect, the thorax is scarcely so transverse and 
the eyes are less prominent, in the specimens which I take for 
a variety the entire elytra are black, but other differences I 
cannot find. 
62. Haplosonyx apicicornis, n. sp. 
Testaceous; the apices of the 4." 5." 6." and the 3 following 
joints of the antennae fuscous; elytra closely and irregularly 
punctured.
